Home Sweet Home

'Mid pleasures and palaces
Though I may roam
Be it ever so humble
There's no place like home

A charm from the sky
Seems to hallow us there
Which seek thro' the world
Is ne'er met with elsewhere

chorus: 
Home! Home! 
Sweet, sweet home! 
There's no place like home 
There's no place like home

To thee, I'll return
O verburdened with care
The heart's dearest solace
Will smile on me there

No more from that cottage
A gain I will roam
Be it ever so humble
There's no place like home

(chorus)
